Week 1
The fundamental, basic building block of all living things.
What is a cell?
A system of organization where small parts group together to form larger, more complex levels.
What is Hierarchy?
The way something is built or put together. It's the shape and parts that make up an object or living thing.
What is Structure?
An organism made of ONE cell
What is Unicellular
A tiny, specialized structure inside a cell that performs a specific job.
What is an organelle?
A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific job
What is tissue?
What something does or its job. Every part has a function—a reason it's there.
What is a function?
An organism made of MANY cells working together
What is Multicellular?
The "control center" or "brain" of a eukaryotic cell. Its primary job is to store the cell's genetic material (DNA) and coordinate all of the cell's activities, such as growth, making proteins, and reproduction
What is a nucleus?
A group of different tissues working together to perform a complex function
What is an organ?
On the inside. Internal parts are hidden inside and you can't see them without looking deeper.
What is Internal?
A simple cell WITHOUT a nucleus
What is a Prokaryote?
Tiny parts inside a cell (organelles) that act as miniature power plants.
What is the mitochondria?
A group of organs that work together to perform a major body function
What is an organ system?
On the outside. External parts are what you can see on the surface of something.
What is External?
A complex cell WITH a nucleus
What is a Eukaryote?
A protective barrier that surrounds every cell.
What is a cell Membrane?
A complete living thing made up of all its integrated organ systems.
What is an organism?
Made or designed for one specific job. A specialized part does one important thing really well.
What is specialized?
The most reliable information that proves something is true
What is the strongest evidence?
